WHEN WILL OUR EyEs BE OPENED TO
THUS GREAT NATIONAL CALAMITY
The year 1886 played sad havoc with
many prominent men of our country.
Many Of them died without warning
passing away apparently in the full
flush Of life.
Others were sick but n comparative
ly short time. We turn TO our files
and are astonshed to find that most
Of them died Of apoplexy, Of paralysis
tfnervous prostraticn, of malignant
blood humor. ot Brights disease, OF
heart disease, OF kidney disease, OF
rheumatism or Of pneumonia.
1t is singular that. most of our
promineut men die Of these disorders.
ANY journalist who watches the tele>
graph reports will be astonished ut
the number OF prominent victims OF
these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in
our paper with Others OF the effect
TINT the diseases that carried off 20
many prominent men in 1886 are
really one disease, taking different
names according to the location Of
the fatal effects.
When n valuable horse perishes, 1t
becomes the nine days talk OF the
sporting world, and yet thousands Of
ordinary horses are dying every day,
their aggregate loss Is enormous, and
vet their death creates no comment.
So it is with individuals. The cause
Of death OF prominent men creates
comment. especially when it can be
shown that one unsupported disease
carries of most iof them, and yet,
vast numbers Of ordinary men md
women die before their time every
wear from the same cause
1t Is snid IL the blood il kept free
from uric acid, that heart disense
paralysis, nervous prostration, pneu-
monia, rheumatism, and many cases
Of consumption, would never be
known This uric acid, we are told,
is the waste Of the system,an il isthe
duty Of the kidneys to remove this
waste.
We are told that il the kidneys are
maintained imperfect health, the uric,
kidney, acid is kept out Of the blood,
and these sudden and universal dis
eases caused by uric acid will, in II
large measure, disappears.
But how shall this be done? 1t Is
folly 10 treat effects. II there is any
known way Of getting at the cause,
that way should be known 10 the
public. We believe that Warmers
safe cure OF which so much has been
written, and so much talked Of by the
public generally. and which can be
obtained Of dealers everyw here, is
now recognized by Impartial physi-
clans aud the public as the one spe-
ci1c for such disease.
Because public attention has been
directed 10 this great remedy by
means OF advertising, some persons
have not beloved in the remedy. We
cannot see how Mr.. Warner could
immediately benefit the public in any
other way, and his valuable specific
should not be condemned because
some no.trums have come before the
public in the same way, any more
than that all doctors should I've con
demned because 80 many Of them are
incompetent.
II is astonishing what good opin.
ions YOU hear on every side Of that
great remedy, and public opinion
thus based upon an actual experience
has all the weight and Importance ot
absolute truth.
At this time Of the year, the uri'
acid ia the blood invites pneumonis
and rheumatism, aud there is not ,
man who does not dread these mon
sters OF disease but he need have NJ
fear Of them, we are told, IL he rid th'
blood Of the uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may
sound like an advertisement, and b,
rejected az such by unthiuking peo
pie, but we believe they are the truth
and az such should be spoken by ey
cry truth-loying newspaper.
